Good evening Gents!

Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Haryali badger
Soap: Crabtree & Evelyn, Nomad
Razor: Thiers-Issard Le Dandy, 6/8 hollow round point
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: Coffee, home blend
Notes: New aftershave splash today, my own coffee brew. Coffee with myrrh and sweet orange, I can see this will be much used during this fall. I did not use my scuttle today, so my lather was cold. I'll use it all the time from now I think. Great slow shave, alone at home so I could enjoy some loud music while shaving. Nice relaxing self time, smooth BBS.



Have a nice evening guys!

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: Simpson Wee Scot

Razor: C.V. Heljestrand 6/8 Frameback

Honing Regimen: Shapton 1.5/5/8K / Naniwa 10K Shapton 30K -> 0.25µ poly diamond> 0.1µ CBN> 0.050µ poly diamond> 0.025µ poly diamond.

Strop: 60 Legion "Moo"

Soap/Cream: Palmolive Stick

Astrigent: Alum Block

After shave: Old Spice White Water

Results: Time to test the second razor I got back with this paste treatment, this one felt a little bit sharper than the Fili, but still not what I would call extremly much sharper than what I'm used to, but to my surprise this one was smoother, I had expected the opposite. A nice, comfortable BBS shave.

Hot shower followed by Proraso preshave cream

Brush: Omega Silver tip
SC: Erasmic
AS:Aqua Velva Ice Blue

Results: BBS and now that I have an adjustible mirror in the shave den; I don't need my glasses any more.HOG

UNLESS THE GLASSES CAN PERFORM MIRACLES...
